#InspirationsFromTheMaster - Lotus eyes, hands, legs, feet or throne - The Lord is repeatedly described using the word, 'lotus'. In the Bhagavad Geeta, in Chapter 10, Verse 5, the beauty of the lotus is explained. 
The lotus is born in water but raises above it. Additionally, in Chapter 6, it is said to 'lift yourself, by yourself', and the lotus does just that. The lotus lifts itself out of the dirt it is born in, just as we should life ourselves out of our negativities. 
The lotus sep also represents that which cannot be dirty. Any water or dirt on the lotus just slips off, never dirtying or staining the lotus. The Upanishads and the Geeta describe the truth as 'shubraha' or 'niranjana', as in 'immaculate; never to be tainted'. It remains ever pure, so much so that it can never be, in any way, made impure. 
Additionally, the lotus is born in the pond, lives in the pond and dies in the pond, but never allows itself to get wet. This symbolizes its complete detachment. Just as the lotus lives in the pond, unaffected by it, we too can live in the world without being affected by it and its worldliness. The world is then beautified by our detachment, like the lotus beautifies the pond. 
On the whole, the lotus represents that which remains ever pure, that which has lifted itself, and that which remains unattached, constantly reminding us of the beauty we have and can spread.
